Reading Monthly Budget Reports

How to read and use monthly budget management reports.

[Structure of the monthly report]

Budget Management → Monthly Report

  1. 1.Month budget: the monthly budget set at the start of the period
  2. 2.Month actual: actual spend/costs for the month
  3. 3.Achievement rate: Actual ÷ Budget × 100
  4. 4.Month variance: Budget − Actual (+ within budget, − over budget)
  5. 5.Cumulative budget: budget from period start to this month
  6. 6.Cumulative actual: actuals from period start to this month
  7. 7.Full-year landing estimate: projected year-end result if the current pace continues

[What to check]

  • Line items over budget (shown in red)
  • Whether the landing estimate exceeds the annual budget
  • Seasonality (e.g., March tends to rise at fiscal year-end)

[Drill down]

Department → line item → individual transactions to analyze causes.

[Report delivery]

Can be emailed automatically on a set day each month (for executives and department heads).
